Maxwell, 36, has bowled two overs inside the powerplay in both T20Is against South Africa in Darwin and even dismissed skipper Aiden Markram in Tuesday’s game. Maxwell is no stranger to bowling in powerplay, especially after famously removing Rohit Sharma in the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad.
"I think in the subcontinent you might be able to get a little bit more out of it as a spinner early on. Especially that new ball, the hard seam, being able to grip on those dry surfaces. So it might be something we think about heading forward.
"I'm just as surprised as anyone when I get a wicket. I love getting wickets. It's very surprising anytime I get anyone out. I'm there to do a job in the powerplay and I'm trying to execute that as well as I can," Maxwell told reporters in Cairns on Thursday.
Maxwell’s adaptability has also been on show with the bat. After opening in the T20I series in the West Indies, Maxwell came in at number seven in the series opener against South Africa before moving to number five in the second match.
"I've been a bit of the shuffler around the order, up and down. I'm filling holes at the moment. Even during the West Indies series, trying to combat Akeal Hosein (by) going up the top, this series going a little bit lower, trying to manage that back end (of the innings).
